Coordinating a universal technical solution to eliminate texting and other display-intensive uses of mobile phones while driving, without affecting use by passengers.

Handset Manufacturers

We are forming a mobile phone handset manufacturers advisory committee to guide proposed standard handset requirements to be low cost and practical to implement. If your company wants to be involved in specifying these standards, please contact us.

Working toward a universal technical solution without delay will counter the claim that data capable handsets that can be used by drivers are unreasonably dangerous. The argument is that, since a technical solution is now available, any manufacturer that does not implement such a solution should be liable for crashes where the handset was in use for texting or web surfing.
